Welcome to Sky Valley is the third music album released in 1994 (if you ignore the EP Sons of Kyuss , which was released in 1990 ) by the American stoner rock band Kyuss . With well-known songs like Gardenia or Demon Cleaner, it is considered one of the most typical stoner rock albums.

Characteristic of the album is the rough, very deep sound of Josh Homme's down-tuned guitar . His psychedelic, rhythmic style mixed with the virtuoso playing of the new bassist Scott Reeder , who replaced Nick Oliveri , redefined the sound of Kyuss.

The album was released in the US with only 4 tracks, one of which was the hidden track Lick Doo . It appears as a concept album , as there are 3 individual sections, each of which consists of 3 (or 4) individual songs. Welcome to Sky Valley appeared in Europe with 10 titles.
